To bring closure to this thread and perhaps benefit others in the future:

As part of a defense-in-depth security strategy a strict IPv4 egress policy was
already in place at the firewall.  This firewall policy only permitted egress
IPv4 TCP destined to port 25 from the relayhost.

The solution for enabling native IPv6 delivery without using the IPv4 relayhost
was simply s/relayhost/fallback_relay/ in combination with the existing IPv4
egress firewall policy.

IPv4 egress from Postfix will receive a TCP RST by the firewall and send mail to
the IPv4 address defined fallback_relay, which is permitted by the firewall.

IPv6 traffic destined to TCP port 25 is permitted so this will egress the
firewall without issue.

- From an additional overhead perspective there seems to be none for delivery to
IPv6 enabled MXes; IPv4 only will incur TCP RST from the firewall and behavior
relating to fallback_relay.  In practice this seems to be almost instant with no
noticeable delays.

Vick, I owe you an overwhelming thank you for pointing me in the right
direction.  I have now achieved the desired behavior/effect.  Thank you to the
others who have participated in this thread as well.
